This is a must do tour in Dubai for families or adults. Highly recommend. We have travelled a lot and Mazher is a top notch guide. The communication and meet up was easy. We walked through the older and multicultural area of Dubai, and tasted so many delicious foods and drinks- Arabian coffee, teas, rose water (wow!), the most amazing chicken shawarma, Indian street food and delicious freshly made Afghan naan. And of course Dubai chocolate. We learned about all these cultures and also witnessed the call to prayer at stunning mosques with minarets that lit the sky as the sun set. We smelled spices. We even took a short boat ride. We saw a couple small museums (such as Arabic coffee) and meandered through small art shows. Mazher answered questions and talked about old and new Dubai and the Emirates. We saw the gold market and the textile market and had flexibility to spend more or less time at some of the stops as we wished. Our family including 2 young adults absolutely loved the tour.

It means a lot to us that you appreciated the cultural walk, local food tastings, markets, museums, and the peaceful moments at the mosques during sunset. Mazher will be especially grateful for your kind words—he is passionate about sharing both old and new Dubai, and it’s great to know his communication, knowledge, and flexibility made the tour even more enjoyable for your family, including the young adults.
